I ASKED QUALCOMM and told me it is 1.2 per core
[HTC EVO 3D] AbsolutZeroGI:
It's rated at how high each core is capable of going. It doesn't measure how much they are combined.

Google search, my friends, is a valuable tool.
[HTC EVO 3D] idavid_:
Umm it's 1.2 ghz each core.
[HTC EVO 3D] heathmcabee:
Yeah, I'm sorry for asking this, I did try and find a viable answer to what they were talking about, but my google searches must have not been very detailed enough to get a specific answer. Thanks for the reply.
[HTC EVO 3D] cooolone2:
The SPEED of the core processing is not a cumulative effect...

1.2 ghz is just that. 1.2 million/million instructions per cycle!

A PROCESSOR performs a simple binary function which is to operate a switch which will be either on or off, or a 1 or a zero. The processor is measured in how many transistors it has which can perform that on/off in how many times per second, hence it's speed. Overall, they keep making chips smaller and quicker, allowing the compact placement of now 2 processors or cores within the space of a single chip. The DUAL core represents that their are TWO distinctive operations per cycle, within ONE chip. So now you have twice the computations being performed in the same cycle. Meaning the single processing chip can handle 1.2 million/million switches (transistors = on/off = binary - 1/0) per cycle then times that by two. A very powerful leap over a single core chip.

Not half that x2 to make one...

Lol... maybe a bad translation, but one I hope might help clarify what the chip is doing.

:)

1.2ghz per core.

if you find a device that has dual 600mhz processors in it why would you ever even consider buying it? no offense. sprint would go under if that is what they released as their evo3d.ive known these specs for over 3 weeks now @google/skynet is your friend.
[HTC EVO 3D] heathmcabee:
Please read the OP again correctly and see that I am referring to the link in that states it is 2 600MHZ processors. I have been building computers for over 10 years with A+ certifications and MSCE. I'm pretty sure I know what I am talking about, I was just point out the fact that the website states differently, and I was wondering if this was coincidence or fact.

[HTC EVO 3D] Elisavæt:
I've recently seen some tablets advertised as "dual core" that have two separate processors; one a standard and one a DSP like the Archos (specs copied below).

Processor(s)	Central Unit:

Main processor: ARM CortexTM-A8, 32 bit, In-order, dual-issue, superscalar core @ 800 MHz

Additional processor: 32 bit DSP @ 430 MHz

I don't believe it was the Archos advertised, I think it was a Ramos advertised somewhere. The third party advertisements I saw stated that the unit had two cores, each at 1.2GHz, for a total of 2.4Ghz. I'm not an electronics person, but I believe that listing a unit as "dual core" or having two cores when in fact there is one cpu and one dsp is very misleading if not simply incorrect.

These types of statements in advertising could certainly lead to questions about what "dual core" really means.

Just thought I'd add the thought, I hope it was helpful.
[HTC EVO 3D] bdkinney:
Just to avoid any confusion this is explanation is close but not quite correct. 1.2ghz is not 1.2 million instructions per cycle...it is 1.2 billion cycles per second. How many instructions occur in each cycle Depends on the processor architecture; how many transistors the chip has, the chips instruction set, the bus width, and many other factors. This is why chips with the same clock rating can run at radically different speeds.

Not trying to nitpick, just want to make sure people understand...not all processors are created equal....even if they do operate at the same clock speed.

Hope this helps...

From Wikipedia

A dual-core processor has two cores (e.g. AMD Phenom II X2, Intel Core Duo), a quad-core processor contains four cores (e.g. AMD Phenom II X4, the Intel 2010 core line that includes 3 levels of quad core processors), and a hexa-core processor contains six cores (e.g. AMD Phenom II X6, Intel Core i7 Extreme Edition 980X). A multi-core processor implements multiprocessing in a single physical package. Designers may couple cores in a multi-core device tightly or loosely. For example, cores may or may not share caches, and they may implement message passing or shared memory inter-core communication methods. Common network topologies to interconnect cores include bus, ring, 2-dimensional mesh, and crossbar. Homogeneous multi-core systems include only identical cores, heterogeneous multi-core systems have cores which are not identical. Just as with single-processor systems, cores in multi-core systems may implement architectures such as superscalar, VLIW, vector processing, SIMD, or multithreading.

Multi-core processors are widely used across many application domains including general-purpose, embedded, network, digital signal processing (DSP), and graphics.

--- Effective is 1.2 GHz itself. a single Processing unit but with 2 Cores (instead of single core which has disadvantages of congestion. )

The improvement in performance gained by the use of a multi-core processor depends very much on the software algorithms used and their implementation. In particular, possible gains are limited by the fraction of the software that can be parallelized to run on multiple cores simultaneously; this effect is described by Amdahl's law. In the best case, so-called embarrassingly parallel problems may realize speedup factors near the number of cores, or even more if the problem is split up enough to fit within each core's cache(s), avoiding use of much slower main system memory. Most applications, however, are not accelerated so much. The parallelization of software is a significant ongoing topic of research.

Just for the record so there are no misunderstandings, here is a definition of gigahertz.

gigahertz

n

1,000,000,000 periods per second

syn : gigahertz, GHz, gigacycle per second, gigacycle, Gc

So that's clear. Have fun.
[HTC EVO 3D] Revontheus:
Dual-Core means that there are 2 Cores Running the show at any given time, the second core is usually weaker than the first, it is meant to handle the lighter tasks
[HTC EVO 3D] regal.life:
It is not really 1.2 per core, but you can call it like that.

Anyway, as far I know HTC Evo 3D has a 1.5 GHz dual-core downclocked by HTC to 1.2 for battery purposes.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Enable Custom Boot Sounds

First make sure you are running a cyanogenmod based rom, i have only tested on CM7, but i believe the capability exists in CM6 as well.

Flash from recovery:

http://www.mediafire.com/?4cr7aa4lg51y8pc

BUSYBOX REQUIRED - if you dont have a proper busybox install (like cm7) this can sometimes fail. if you experience issues, mount system rw before running the script.

Zip contains the default "DROID" sound, to replace with your own see below.

Instructions:

1) Flash from recovery over current rom

2) reboot phone

Once you have flashed this you will also have some new commands in terminal or adb:

enablebootsound - enables boot sound if enable from recovery was unsuccesful

bootsoundtoggle - turns bootsound on or off

newbootsound - copies /sdcard/android_audio.mp3 as new boot sound

newbootanim - copies /sdcard/bootanimation.zip as new bootanimation.

Feel free to post your custom sounds in this thread. i'll try and keep the first post updated.

Once again - to set custom sound or animation place them on root of sdcard named appropriately i.e. 'bootanimation.zip' and 'android_audio.mp3'

Enjoy.

bootsound enable script by mrdaviso modified by me for compatibility and to eliminate double runs, from a tutorial posted by spiicytuna
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mejorguille:
Very cool idea and a very nice implementation. I had a media force close as soon as the phone finished turning on, but then again I was using a 5mb mp3. Also as soon as I did "newbootsound", the selected song started playing. Other then that everything works exactly as you described :). Ill post some logs up tomorrow. Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wilnotdie:
Nice work. I always thought this had to be done by fixing the links in /system/bin/bootanimation
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wilnotdie:
I'm always changing my animations and will now be changing bootsounds....so I hope you don't mind, I made a small change to /system/bin/bootsound

Its now

#!/system/bin/sh

bprop=/system/build.prop

play=$(cat $bprop | egrep -c -i -o ro.config.play.bootsound=1)

if [ "$play" = "1" ]; then

stagefright -a -o /system/media/*.ogg

stagefright -a -o /system/media/*.mp3

In CM7 RC2, remember to type "su" before typing enablebootsound...

It works! :D great add-on to cm7, u tha man!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Rickroller:
In Terminal Emulator period you need to type su (to gain root access) before typing any of the commands.

I'm running CM 6.1.1 and it worked great..only thing is the boot audio cuts out about 5 seconds before my animation ends (and it's not the audio clip..it's 30seconds long)..is there any way to increase the length of this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wilnotdie:
In case you wanna add to the OP, this is from enablebootsound.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amazinglarry311:
update:

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?dxjcc9cyhzyalz3

if you have already flashed and used the previous version, this one is of no use to you.

The only modification is after flashing when you are rebooting you will see your splash screen for a few seconds, then your device will reboot and continue like normal. ONE REBOOT is normal. after this reboot the boot sound will automatically play. so for you self proclaimed super noobs, all you do is flash and reboot. once again after flashing your device will boot to splash screen for a few seconds then reboot and greet you with your animation and the default android sound.

see OP for changing the sound.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ashaman_Kupo:
If you can, why not build an app that lets you change your sound? Something similar to Root Tools by Rummler. You can swap boot-animations easily with that app, granted you can only change from the ones he has. There are 24 of them.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wilnotdie:
sounds like a good idea. I would use an App to do this. Shouldn't be too hard, as right now I use gscripts to do most of my changing/testing.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amazinglarry311:
This will never be released as an app by me. Script only. a few commands in terminal should be easy enough, and it isn't a customization suite, it's just to enable the boot sound, the ability to change was an after thought and is a simple few lines.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wilnotdie:
I know how to get the clip to play all the way through. I got it on mine. Not sure if there are any side effects, but perhaps you would like to test it out? If so, please send me your clip.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wilnotdie:
@ amazinglarry311

Do you think this will cause any side effects? I dont know much, but I like to tinker and learn :)

If you remove the line that tells it to stop playing the boot audio

this

on property:dev.bootcomplete=1
stop bootsound

from

/etc/init.local.rc

so it now looks like this

# CyanogenMod Extras

# Compcache - handle at boot
service compcache /system/bin/handle_compcache
user root
group root
oneshot

###Bootsound - Safe to Delete: Start ###

service bootsound /system/bin/bootsound
user media
group audio
disabled
oneshot

on property:init.svc.bootanim=running # to correct timin
start bootsound

### Bootsound - Safe to Delete: End ###

As long as the audio clip doesn't exceed boot time, than you should be good.

If the clip is longer, it will continue to play, until its finished...which no one probably wants.

If anyone wants to give it a shot, just backup your file, and edit it... or use the attached file. Its not zipped, just remove the .zip from the filename.

Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Rickroller:
Couple questions..your attached file..where do I go abouts putting it? As well..is there anything I need to change for the time where it says "# to correct timin"?

I'd really like to play the full audio clip I have for the bootanimation..so am interested in how this works..

EDIT: Hmm..seems this time when I rebooted my sound file played for the duration of my bootanimation! Very nice work guys.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] firtvid20:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wilnotdie:
Check this file "/etc/init.local.rc". Or it may be located in "/system/etc/init.local.rc"

See if it matches the one above. Perhaps something happened during the flashing or maybe something changed in CM

(Status 7) Error on HTC Evo4G CyanogenMod 7 RC4

I attempted to flash this after a nandroid and I recieved the following error:

assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "vision" || getprop("ro.buiE:unknown command [ld.product")]

E:Error in /sdcard/bootsound-vision-CM-signed-040611.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.​

I also found a similar (if not the same) flashable zip on the Cyanogen forums for the Incredible. I recieved the same error:

assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "inc" || getprop("ro.buiE:unknown command [ld.product")]

E:Error in /sdcard/bootsound-inc-CM-signed.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.​

I'm currently running the CyanogenMod 7 RC4 on my HTC Evo. I realize this is the G2 and Desire Z thread, however I saw someone report it was able to work with a Evo Shift, so I thought I'd give it a shot. No luck so far however.

I also attempted (from here):

if the flashable zip does not work, after flashing, boot and open terminal and type these commands:

su

enablebootsound

it should tell you if it was previously installed, or it will install the needed files/modifications ​

Which it then reported it couldn't located enablebootsound. My uneducated guess is because the file(s) are designed for the Desire/Incredible respectively they don't work on the Evo4G, but I figured it was worth a shot:confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amazinglarry311:
at the beginning of the flash updater-scripts there is an "assert" line that looks like this:

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "vision" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "vision" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "vision");

this basically means the script is asserting that the product being flashed is a g2 (vision)

the incredible's is the same but with inc where you'd find visionary.

You should be able to extract the enablebootsound script from the zip and place on the root of your sdcard. gain superuser and execute for it to do its thing, also you'll need an android_audio.mp3 in /system/media for it to play.

so extract script

place on sdcard

open terminal

su

sh /sdcard/enablebootsound

copy audio file to /system/media named android_audio.mp3

i should have been more clear too, by saying "if it didnt work" i meant if the files flashed successfully but the sound wont play.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ahavens17:
Thank you, I followed this and it worked perfectly. The sound cuts out a little soon, but for what I needed it for it worked just fine. Finished product is here by request.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amazinglarry311:
Check the last two pages, you can edit init.local.rc with changes to allow the bootsound to play all the way through, I can integrate that into a the script as well if people think out would be a nice choice
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ahavens17:
Right again, I removed that line, and i was able to have the boot sound fade out right to the end of the animation. The last two seconds faded out as the lockscreen came up, which I actually thought was kind of cool, makes it seem like a very seamless transition.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ohshootrawr:
If it works, I wouldn't mind it :D I was using the call of duty bootanimation, but I changed it since the audio would cut halfway.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amazinglarry311:
We just discussed a fix for that. Read the thread.

if you have already run the script you need to modify init.local.rc to remove the last two lines that this script set up.
